The front door opens from Church Street into a reception hall with a quarry tiled floor. There is a cloakroom with WC, wash basin and under stairs cupboard.

Bedroom 2 has a lovely aspect onto the church, and bedroom 3 has an airing cupboard, built-in wardrobe, and views over the rear garden. There is a shower room with shower, wash basin and WC.

The south facing cottage garden has established hedges to either side, affording a fair degree of privacy. There is a patio, exterior water tap and lighting, a large lawn and a shrub border. A rear gate provides access to parking immediately to the rear of the garden, and to a good sized single garage in a block (third from the left as you look at them) with up-and-over door, window, power, lighting and pitched roof providing ample eaves storage space. Vehicular access is from a lane at the end of the terrace.

Agents’ Note: There is an understanding for 2026 that the whole terrace is to be thatched at the rear, with an approximate cost of £20,000.
